Great customer service! Got seated immediately as we showed up... it was cozy with a cool and dimmed lights vibe. Ordered Irish Coffee: warm and strong boozed with coffee. Good combo but it's close enough to San Francisco's Irish Coffee. Truffle fries were decent and good... pretty good with ketchup. Meatballs were interesting but very filling. It was smothered with tomato sauce and it came with two pieces of sourdough bread. Recommended to share with at least three people. It was a lot for two people so we ended up not finishing it. read more

Doyle is a lounge-style bar with a chic mid-century feel, wrapped in dark paneling with touches of night-gold and deep blue accents.Visiting on a cold night, I loved sitting inside tucked by the fire, it made the whole experience feel extra cozy. The cheese plate was delicious, and my old fashioned was the perfect nightcap. Service was fast, attentive, and consistently checked in without feeling intrusive. Doyle is a great spot for a drink, a relaxed date night, or a warm escape on a chilly evening. read more

Doyle is such a cool upscale bar and restaurant at DuPont circle, super close to the metro. We stopped by to enjoy the beautiful floral ambiance outside but the inside is just as impressive. It was also quite empty on a weekday evening after work so you might not need a reservation if you're stopping by at that time. Note that they don't have a happy hour menu. I got the dancing queen cocktail, which was so so delicious and refreshing. Then we ordered a charcuterie plate which was enough to share for 2, maybe 3 with 1 or 2 other appetizers. The chicken sandwich was also really tasty and well portioned with a side of fries. The service was really good and attentive. read more

What a cool bar with midcentury vibes and an Irish twist! Enjoyed our break in this very cool spot on Sunday afternoon. Loved the tasty bar snacks, but most surprising was an incredible twist on an Irish Coffee called the Senor Sheridan. If you bottled the chocolate maltiness of an Irish Car bomb but made it coffee... you have this amazing concoction! Service here was prompt and everyone had a smile on their face. I will visit again! read more

The ambiance is really nice and welcoming. If you are looking to grab a few drinks with your friends, this is a spot to check out. The bartenders were polite and very informative when we had a question. I plan to come back when I'm in the DC area in the near future. read more

Ambiance inside is very classy and cozy, great spot for an intimate conversation and lounging while sipping drinks. Got a glass of pino grigio and it was nice. They also gave free snacks of chips, olives, and salted almonds. The service was very friendly and nice experience overall. read more

Located inside The Pembroke, this spot is one of those places that quietly delivers a really refined experience without trying too hard. The location alone is hard to beat. Being right in Dupont Circle makes it perfect whether you're planning a night out or just looking for a quality sit-down after being in the area. The outdoor patio was easily one of my favorite parts, comfortable, serene, and ideal for actually enjoying a conversation without feeling rushed or crowded. The drinks were done right. You can tell there's intention behind them. Everything felt well-balanced, properly made, and consistent with the overall polished atmosphere. It's the kind of place where you don't second guess your order. The experience felt elegant but still relaxed. Nothing felt forced, just a well-executed restaurant that knows exactly what it's doing. Definitely a great option in DC if you're looking for something a little more refined without losing comfort. I'll absolutely be back. read more

Attentive service, clean bathrooms and a really great outdoors space. When we were here, we even saw a couple get engaged which was so heartwarming to see! Drinks are good and based on a cool premise. Their cocktail menu highlights drinks that are either inspired by or I believe tied to different Irish counties. I got the Red lady, which was perfectly spritzy and inspired by the Wexford county's strawberry fields! read more

The Doyle is an upscale bar in Dupont. They have specialty cocktails that are quite pricey. And they have a good assortment of beers and liquors. They serve little snacks of olives and nuts while you drink. I would recommend making a reservation. It got pretty busy in there. We had a good time. I think it would make a nice date night spot. read more

Came for late night drinks! Our waitress Tina (Selena lol) was phenomenal. She made some great recommendations. The kitchen closed a few minutes before we arrived and she went out of her way to try and snag us some truffle fries. Ordered a couple drinks , a Black Manhattan and a couple rounds of the Red Lady. 10/10. It's like a strawberry infused French 75. Very nice ambiance with large windows to see the city moving around outside and nice plush seating in an intimate setting inside. Loved my first visit. read more

This review reflects my experience dining out with celiac disease, an autoimmune disorder that requires me to maintain a diet free of gluten (including cross contact). SERVICE: 4/5 stars DRINKS: 4/5 stars FOOD: Not applicable AMBIANCE: 5/5 stars VALUE: 3/5 stars OVERALL RATING: 4/5 stars Yesterday, friends and I popped into Doyle for drinks after eating brunch nearby. Doyle is the bar within the Dupont Circle Hotel; it is stylish, elegant, and quiet--the perfect locale for chatting with friends on a gloomy Saturday afternoon. Though we did not have a reservation, the host was able to seat us quickly at two small, round tables directly to the right of the street entrance. Service was excellent; we received water quickly, with our orders taken shortly thereafter. I had three Madras cocktails, all of which were delicious--strong, flavorful, well-balanced, and refreshing. The server provided our table with a complementary trio of bar snacks, which were not safe for me to consume, unfortunately (wasabi peas and a duo of nuts). No service charge or automatic gratuity was applied to our bill when we paid. I will be back to Doyle for drinks again soon. read more

This is a swanky hotel bar/ restaurant. They have some cute/ cozy feeling seating areas. The bar is very nice and classy looking. Great spot to bring a date or meet for a drink with co-workers. They have plenty of seating and when it's nice out they have outdoor seating. The service here can be hit or miss. I was here a few years ago and sat outside with some friends ( 3 of us to be exact) The service was fine no complaints. Came here again with another two friends for a drink service was a bit slow. I was just here a few days ago as I really wanted chocolate ice cream and the ice cream shop I wanted to try out was closed. I was taking this to go. I must of waited like 15 min for one scoop of ice cream with little bit of rainbow sprinkles on the side. And it was not even that busy at all. Not to mention for this one small scoop it was like $5.60 (figures hotel restaurant prices!) I would come again for a drink but don't think I would stay for food. read more

The food was decent! The tuna tartare had too much avocado. There weren't enough plantains. Cocktails were good but not consistent. I was very disappointed in the staff. They acted like serving us was an inconvenience. We made a reservation (you need one to get in) and they still made us wait. Our server was very slow and didn't provide any recommendations for drink or dinner. We ordered a charcuterie board, it was delivered to the wrong table 2x. The server spilled my drink all over my purse, sweater and dinner. Never brought me another drink. Our server also didn't have manners. He was not polite and would hand us our food/drinks instead of placing them on the table. He never removed empty plates. The tables were very small and everything we ordered was crammed. The place was very busy and loud. The bar was packed. This place gives off speak easy vibes. read more

The struggle to find a bar open on a Monday in DC is real. So we ended up at Doyle last minute to celebrate my friend's birthday. So last minute we literally made reservations as we were driving to DC. The outside is decorated so beautifully with florals and a mural. Unfortunately, the patio was closed, and it was rather muggy that day anyways so we got a table inside. We got seated at a small table, but the birthday girl wanted the sofa/couch booth area. Our waiter, Betty, was the sweetest and let her choose whichever table she wanted. (Honestly this review might just be about our waiter because the service she provided us, was over the top) We sat down and took a while to order our drinks! They gave us complimentary nuts and almonds; definitely was not expected. I don't remember the name of our drinks, but they were pretty delicious. Since our waiter knew it was my friend's birthday, she brought out a complimentary crème brûlée. I didn't request it or anything. The sweet sweet lady decided to give us the dessert on her own. It was truly so delicious and 'happy birthday' in chocolate was adorable. What we expected to be a lame night since everything was closed, turned out to be exception because of our server! read more

The cocktail menu was extensive and the drinks were great, but our outdoor server never returned to us after delivering our first drinks. We moved inside and had better service in the high top area of the bar. The patio was a more scenic and vibrant seating area but the missing server kind of killed the vibe. Would still recommend for the drinks and views. 8/10 read more

tonight we had about 40 friends come to a reservedspace. The manager first required there only be one check. Then he made very aggressive declaration that people needed to pool in pods of 8 so there would only be 5 checks. We didn't even all know each other so most simply did not order a drink. He then patrolled to ensure no one went to the bar to get a drink. He cost the business a ton tonight but also moving forward. I'll never return and suspect our group email will ensure the same. And we're all in our 50s and spend money. Dumb, dumb decision by Mr. we're demanding rules. And here is the kicker - it was our friend's birthday who is having literally brain surgery Monday.. adios. read more

This place is what i think of when I imagine a hotel cocktail bar. Helpful staff, relaxed upscale vibe, and yummy bites with AMAZING cocktails. If you're in the city and just want a quiet spot to chill with friends but want delicious, classic cocktails...this is the spot! The avocado BLT is huge and comes with fries but it was delicious. And the chicken lollipops were not too spicy and had just the right amount of sauce. Service was excellent! We really enjoyed ourselves here. read more

Excellent location, ambiance and service! It's very welcoming and specialty cocktails all have a story.

First of all, I'd like to thank Jordan for his warm hospitality. He was kind, friendly, and helpful. I love the DuPont Circle Hotel, so having the Doyle right downstairs is a real treat. I enjoyed eating at the bar solo and chatting with some of the others around me who were also enjoying themselves. The entire venue is bustling and full of life which makes you feel like you are somewhere cool. I had a Hendricks Martini craftily made by Jordan. He offered me an array of bar snacks and I happily accepted. After a few sips, feeling the stress of train travel melt away, I ordered the crispy tuna rice. It was a perfect light dinner full of Asian flavors and complimentary textures . I enjoyed it very much. I will always visit the Doyle when I'm in town. read more

When you first walk through the doors, you know you're in a classy place where you can lounge with your delicious cocktail. I've been here a few times and I always know my cocktail will be delicious. They also have outdoor seating which is lovely when the weather is warm. Service can be hit or miss depending on who is helping you. Haven't had much food here, but fries were tasty. A bit pricey just for bites.. but nice to know if you're hungry you can get something. read more

This spot is so cute, cozy, busy and a great happy hour spot! There's mood lighting and mood music playing and it's a very fun atmosphere ! We were able to socialise at the bar. People are friendly and the bartenders are extremely professional ! We had the tuna tostadas and the pork belly steamed buns and I must say the food was outstanding! Completely exceeded my expectations! For the portion size, it's a little pricey, but these were some of the softest steamed buns I've had in the area and the tuna tostadas were small but unbelievably delicious ! read more

Came here before a show nearby with friends for some early evening cocktails. The place itself was cute and the drinks were decent. The service was horrible though. Took forever to order. They messed up 1/3 of our small groups drink orders. And had an attitude like we were bothering them. Definitely not worth the automatic 20% service fee. I expect semi decent service at restaurants/bars that do that read more

We had such a good time. Just came in for an app and bevvy! Vibe- for a hotel bar/restaurant, dang it was classy. Great decor, ample types of seating, and lots of fun people watching. Food- we shared a charcuterie board and truffle fries. The board was beautiful and versatile. Love the different chosen cheeses, bread/crisp options and even a few dips. Wish there was a more extensive dinner menu, but we know pembroke is right next door for next time. Drinks- we had a bottle of Prosecco and it was light and sweet. Perfection. Service- Frank took care of our drinks and presented the Prosecco. He was super personable. Gigi helped us with food and took great care of us, she was funny and attentive. We felt well taken care of by everyone! read more

I had an extremely disappointing experience at the Doyle Hotel. I was splashed with sticky syrup at the bar, soaking my clothes, hair, and body. Instead of offering a sincere apology or showing any real concern, the manager coldly dismissed it, saying, "most people don't complain about these things." He also asked how I'd like to handle the situation as if I was the one responsible for finding a solution. He then suggested I take my clothes to the dry cleaner... as if I could just take off my pants and go to my event half-dressed. That response completely missed the bigger issue: I still had to go about my evening with stained clothes and sticky hair. The lack of tact especially after we made it clear we were just stopping in for a quick pre-drink before heading to an event was unacceptable. Accidents happen, and of course I know the bartender didn't spill anything intentionally. In fact, he was the only one who showed any genuine concern. But the manager's cold tone, his complete inability to manage the situation, and his lack of a sincere apology especially coming from a reputable bar with prices that imply a higher standard of service made the whole experience unpleasant. It felt as if he assumed we were looking for a discount, when the reality is that we were simply expecting basic hospitality. I would've happily paid the full bill and tipped well had someone simply acknowledged the inconvenience and taken ownership. Instead, I was offered an insulting 10% off and no real resolution. You expect better from places like this that market themselves as reputable service-oriented. Sadly, that standard was nowhere to be found here. read more

Excellent cocktails in the district in the once up and coming DuPont Circle. Located inside the DuPont Circle Hotel is Doyle's the name of the chain that owns the hotel and the former name of the actual hotel. Doyle's offers indoor and outdoor seating, both with views of DuPont Circle which for happy hour offers a great venue for people watching. I love my Grey Goose Martini, shaken and with three olives! I have come here during the day and once recently at 945. I was told the kitchen was closed, but after some cajoling I was accommodated and allowed to order their pork belly dim sum and charcuterie meat board, both delicious and worth coming for again and again. The bar has a wide arrange of top shelf liquors. And if your nice you can ask for a shot of Pappy Van Winkle--the unicorn of bourbons--which is kept downstairs. read more

How long has this place been here? No idea, but I wasn't aware until recently when my friend suggested it and of course I had to look it up on Yelp. I believe it was previously called Bar Dupont. Around 6:00 p.m. on a Thursday evening it wasn't super crowded but started to fill up fairly quickly. We sat in the bar area with great views of outside - perfect for people watching. I would describe the ambience as upscale casual! This is certainly not a cheap date spot but if you want to impress somebody, this is a good choice. They had some happy hour specials. The cocktails were good and the truffle fries, amazing. Service was great overall. People seem to come here alone, in groups, for meetings, and dates. Located inside the Dupont circle hotel, so you already know parking in this area isn't the easiest. I would suggest metro or uber/lyft. read more

I used to come to the Doyle often for their happy hour (incredible truffle fries and oysters!), and the service has always been warm and accommodating. My most recent visit was just a few days ago, when I stopped in for a nightcap: since it was a Sunday night and I didn't feel like having alcohol, I asked the waitress whether the bar did mocktails. She asked me whether I had a specific one in mind (I didn't), and then assured me that the bartenders could tailor one to my taste. She was right: the bartender whipped up a mocktail that was so delicious -- and so beautiful! -- that I had to go up and ask what was in it (it was some combination of cucumber water, lime, and ginger beer). And all for $7! I'll definitely be back for more mocktails (and probably cocktails) soon, and would definitely recommend for anyone who's looking for a really delicious, thoughtfully-made, non-alcoholic drink. read more

In town for a long weekend, staying at The Dupont Circle. Of course Doyle's would be a default bar, but we were first impressed with service...attention. Then when we're were warmly welcomed back on our second visit...and 3rd and 4th...it's was really reassuring the staff pays attention. The food is a cut above for bar food and the drinks are delicious. Doyle's has a very lively crowd seemingly every night. It's well worth the visit for a drink or to sit a spell and relax. read more
